It's a good point, Ian, although you might argue that it's only 100k.

Another reason this isn't a good practice is because of something I'm
doing right now:  making some fixes to our junit code.  Suppose I
checked those in and then checked in a new unit test in the freenet tree
that would break without those fixes.  Since freenet-ext.jar will
inevitably fail to track the current CVS sources it is generated from,
you have a problem.
